Data selections in Qlik Sense are persistent so that the latest available data is loaded from Qlik DataMarket whenever the data model is reloaded.
Most Qlik DataMarket data is both global and country-specific. For example, world population data is available for 200+ countries and territories. In addition, Qlik DataMarket provides various data for states and regions within the United States and European countries.
